Background

The federal government is requiring all vendors who supply services or products to register their company with the System Award Management (SAM). There are two steps necessary to complete the process and become registered. Applicants will need to obtain a DUNS number. The DUNS numbering system was created in 1962 and stands for Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS). These numbers are only assigned by Dunn & Bradstreet and each identification number is specific to a person or vendor conducting business with the government. Once a vendor has completed the process, the vendor will be responsible for maintaining current data on their account in the SAM database.

Vendor Service Provider

Forms and Links Form AO213, Vendor Information/Certification form, must be completed after a DUNS number and CAGE code are assigned. This form is used to establish your vendor record in our local financial system and is separate from the two registration processes. Once Form AO 213 is completed, please return the information via email. If you do not have access to email, please see the contacts below for more information. Your information will be stored in our local financial system. Our financial records do not interface with DUNS or SAM, therefore, updates to SAM accounts must also be reported to the court unit. We will not be able to update any information related to any vendor records without written permission. If your company has been assigned a CAGE code, you should follow the instructions on the SAM website.
